If b is the base then the height h=b+6. As we have S=bh/2 then
36=b(b+6)/2;
b²+6b-72=0;
D/4=3²+72=81
b₁=-3-9=-12
b₂=-3+9=6.
The base is always positive so b=6, h=6+6=12.
Answer: base=6 ft, height=12 ft.

Any one know how to find the roots of an equation?
soldier1979 [14.2K]
So what you do is
make into ax^2+bx+c=0 form

add-9/2 to both sides
y^2-2y+9/2=0
now we use the quadratice formula which is
x=\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}

ax^2+bx+c=0
1y^2-2y+9/2
a=1
b=-2
c=9/2
subsitute
x=\frac{-(-2)+/- \sqrt{(-2)^{2}-4(1)(9/2)} }{2(1)}
x=\frac{2+/- \sqrt{4-(36/2)} }{2}
x=\frac{2+/- \sqrt{4-(18)} }{2}
x=\frac{2+/- \sqrt{-14} }{2}
x=\frac{2+/- \sqrt{-14} }{2}
x=1+/- \frac{\sqrt{-14} }{2}
x=1+/- \frac{\sqrt{14} \sqrt{-1}}{2}
x=1+/- \frac{\sqrt{14} i }{2}
x=1+/- \frac{ i \sqrt{14} }{2}

answer is C

Factor x squared-6x+3x-18 by grouping ​
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

(x - 6)(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 6x + 3x - 18 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= x(x - 6) + 3(x - 6) ← factor out (x - 6) from each term

= (x - 6)(x + 3)
